Samurai of the Takeda Family

Ueno, Agatsuma-gun, the dirt road leading to Hao Castle.

　　 is in a basin surrounded by mountains, but there are endless paddy fields in sight. There are only three or four families scattered around the paddy fields, two of which are surrounded by woods. You can see the torii, which is a guarded shrine.

　　 The paddy fields on both sides of the road have mostly been planted with seedlings, and each field is filled with water, reflecting the early summer sunset. The peasants in the paddy field holding a white cloth with their feet in the field were surprised when they saw the neat army.

　　 The foot soldiers in their outfits are marching. They stepped on the puddles on the road and made their straw sandals muddy. The army of this road, both the foot soldiers and the horse-riding warriors, were moving forward silently with the flag finger on the Maru on their backs.

　　 The setting sun shone diagonally across the treetops, except for the sound of birds singing and cicadas, and the surroundings were extremely quiet.

　　 Three miles ahead is Hano Castle!

Yoshiki Murakami, wearing gold and platinum paper inlaid with Jin Haori on a red background, waddled his horse across the ditch. Now he and another Echigo general, Takemata Kiyozuna, are leading an army of 1,300 as this time The Uesugi family attacked the first battle of the Agatsuma-gun troops, attacking Hao Castle at night. Just yesterday, the passer-by, Yoshiki Murakami, attacked Kamahara Castle, and the castle lord Kosuke Kamahara and the following two hundred people were killed.

　　 The second battalion was the eight hundred troops led by Nagano Yegu in the Nagano family, trailing five miles behind the Murakami Yoshiki team.

　　 The third formation is a six-hundred army led by Fudoyama Castle Lord Yamamoto Temple. It is six miles behind the Nagano army and is responsible for the queen.

　　 In addition, Kenshin Uesugi also dispatched Honjo Honjo to send troops from Echigo Honjo Castle to take Songshan Castle directly to contain the military power of the Takeda family.

As for Saito Asabu, who had just put down Ninja Castle Narita Nagatai, Uesugi’s main army led by Katsunaga Ikube rushed to Agatsuma-gun non-stop, and finally Uesugi Kenshin’s main formation in Stable Bridge City will also be dispatched, totaling more than one. The Uesugi army, who was in force, decided to encircle the army on three sides to annihilate the Takeda Katsurai army in Agatsuma Prefecture in one fell swoop.

　　 In the face of the military power of more than 1,000 Takeda families and local wealthy families, Murakami felt that the mobilization of so many people was too exaggerated, and it was a bit of a sledgehammer.

　　 But despite such a big advantage, the Echigo general Kiyozuna Takemata looked dignified all day long, and then he kept reminding Murakami to be careful not to be careless.

　　 From Murakami Yoshiki's point of view, he seemed a bit afraid of the enemy. And it wasn't just Takemata Kiyotatsu, who decided who was the first team to attack Agatsuma Prefecture during the military meeting that was opened at Stable Bridge.

　　 The famous Echigo generals, who served tea, served tea, drank water, and soy sauce continued to soy sauce. No one has accepted it.

　　Will Uesugi Kenshin personally call his name to Nagano Yakuo or Uehonji's ruler to choose one of the two.

Whether it is the famous Nagano clan, the famous Nagano Kegoku, who is famous in Ueno for bravery, and the Uesugi clan’s predecessor of Yamamotoji, they all have a difficult expression, and then they all share incomparable similarities. He shook his head neatly, and finally firmly rejected the proposal to let his men as the first team.

　　 This makes Murakami Yoshiki very incomprehensible, this is simply the shame of a samurai!

When he heard of Nagano Kegoku and Yamamotoji's chief priest explained a bunch of reasons that were not reasons, Murakami Yoshiki got furious, stood up on the spot and cursed the two as cowards, and then he did not hesitate to accept the military order for the first battle of Agatsuma Prefecture. .

　　 But when he took the military order, Nagano Kagegu and Yamamotoji were relieved for a long time, and then looked at him with a complicated look.

　　 For a traditional warrior, Yoshiki Murakami is not very good at observing words and expressions, but he seems to feel that their eyes seem to contain a sense of sympathy.

　　 But for Yoshiki Murakami, the most incomprehensible thing is that even the Echigo dragon Uesugi Kenshin himself has repeatedly confessed to himself that he must capture the Ming nationality Li Xiao alive and not hurt his life. Looking at Uesugi Kenshin's appearance, it seemed that he wanted to use Li Xiao to the full.

　　 "Huh! What's so great about a Mingguo."

　　 Murakami Yoshiki drew his horse's whip again. He looked back and saw Kiyotatsu Takemata behind him. This man was still very courageous, but when he heard himself as the first attack, he took the initiative to ask for help.

　　 Along the way, Takemata Kiyozuna sent enough cavalry to confirm that there was no enemy ambushing in the fields and mountains. This cautiousness seemed to be appreciated by Yoshiki Murakami. But Kiyoshi Takemata's mentality of being too fearful of the enemy, like a tiger, was very angry in Murakami's eyes.

　　 As a former Shinano Mori, Murakami Yoshiki, who fought for Shinano hegemony with Takeda Shingen, naturally would not see Takeda Katsuyori and Li Xiao in his eyes.

　　 Murakami Yoshiki does have capital worthy of his pride. The Murakami family, as a descendant of the Seiwa Genji, has been based in Shinano for many years. Murakami, Ogasawara, Kiso, and Suwa are four families, and they call it the four great families of Shinano.

When Murakami Yoshiki himself served as the governor of the house, when the Murakami family reached its most glorious time, the southern conquest, the expansion of the territory, the defeat of the original Shinano Mori Ogasawara clan, and the overlord status of Shinano. The Umino clan and Sanada's family from the prefecture rushed to Ueno, and even Shingen and his father Nobuura Takeda were defeated by him.

Finally, when Shingen invaded Shinano, Yoshiki Murakami fought in Uedahara and Toishibu battles, giving Takeda Shingen two unforgettable defeats in his lifetime. Itagaki Nobukata, Toriyoshi Amagi, Takamatsu Yokota and other Takeda forces The heroes of the series were killed in these two battles.

But in the end Yoshiki Murakami was defeated by Takeda Shingen’s strategy. His servants rebelled and the city was captured one by one. In Shinano, Yoshikiyoshi Murakami could only take his servants and samurai with him. He went to Uesugi Kenshin, hoping that he could help him restore his old collar.

　　 This gave Kenshin Uesugi an excuse to send troops to Chuanakajima four times. And it goes without saying that Murakami Yoshiki's hatred of Wuhuo, each time Chuanzhongjima battles as the vanguard of the Echigo Army, and the Takeda Army kills you to death.

　　 Therefore, in the eyes of Yoshiki Murakami, the other generals of the Takeda clan are better ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ can they compare to Takeda Shingen? Even the Tiger of Kai, Shingen Takeda, who is known as the unparalleled military, has been defeated twice by his own hands, let alone Yu Zi.

　　 Murakami Yoshiki glanced across Takemata Kiyotatsu. His overly cautious attitude really made him admire and hate him. He wanted to march faster and immediately attacked Yuwei Castle, waiting for him to capture Takeda Katsurai and Li Xiao two alive. Explaining that Uesugi Kenshin and the generals in front of Echigo, asked them to see that these two people have nothing to do with three heads and six arms.

Just as Murakami Yoshiki was thinking about his own thoughts, at this time, the investigator in the army ran to Yoshiki Murakami on a fast horse, and said loudly: "Report to Mr. Murakami, the gate of Yuwei Castle is open. The defenders disappeared?"

"what?"

Yoshiaki Murakami was taken aback. The information provided by Takeda Yoshinobu was very detailed. It said that Hao Castle not only guarded the retreat of the Takeda Army in Agatsuma Prefecture, but also stored most of the army’s rations and military funds. Takeda Katsuyoshi faction The general of the Takeda family, Masaho, one of the three bullets, Masahoshi Masahoshi, was stationed with three hundred people, but how could it be that there was no one at the moment.

　　 Murakami Yoshiki suspiciously, and then asked: "There is really no one in the city, is that even in the town of Shita?"

　　 "Yes. There is no one, and the clutter on the road in the town was left on the ground. It seems to have been pulled down in a hasty retreat, a mess."

　　 It’s weird, where is the defender of Hao Castle? Did they really abandon the city and fled?

　　Takemata Kiyozuna listened to Yoshikiyoshi Murakami's side, and said sternly: "Murakami-sama, beware. This is probably the trick of the Takeda army."

　　 Murakami Yoshiki looked at this cautious look of Kiyotatsu Takemata, and sneered: "What tricks can there be, even if the Takeda army lays ambush on ten sides, I am not afraid."

　　 After a pause, Yoshiki Murakami shouted aloud: "The whole army speeds up!"
